1: Ethics because of the way animals and birds are raised and slaughtered for the meat industry.
2: Practicality because of the amount of resources used to produce a pound of meat compared to producing a pound of vegetables.
There is a lot more than that like polluting the air and the water
with dung, cutting forests which cause climate changes, making people sick so they fill hospital and other institution bed and empty taxpayer pocket and so on.
Quote:Going vegan or vegetarian still has ethical considerations, though, because many foods manufactured for vegans/vegetarians contain palm oil. Where do the manufacturers get it from? After all, there's no point feeling virtuous about eating a veggie burger if rain forest has been destroyed in order to produce one of the ingredients.
I don't think veg. use a great deal of palm oil.
In any case is the less evil than eating meat.
It remind me years ago when i was driving taxis
in Sydney.
One idiot smoker (all smokers are loser anyway) after i told him off said to me....
......YOU ALSO CREATE A LOT OF POLLUTION WITH
YOUR CAR....
He was correct actually but the idiot could not understand that
in life whatever we do we create problems so what to do?
The best thing to do when we do something is to limit the damage as possible as we can.
We got to go on with car pollution until we find a way to avoid
pollution but we can avoid what it is not necessary like smoking.
At the same time we can limit the damage by replace palm oil
with other oil and replacing meat with veg. proteins.
Quote:Even if consciousness isn't physical it still has to operate through the human brain. This brings us back to the question of what human consciousness is. Take your pick from the following article. :D
I already said many times what the consciousness is.
It is like the iceberg.
The small size that we are aware of is the one above the water.
The bigger part below the water is the one which we are not yet aware of.
How to get to the one below?
We can get slowly slowly life after life after life or we can get
faster by practicing intuitional science. :cool-shades:
